They can call whatever they choose. That doesn't mean it holds a candle to Tiger Stadium. There is a reason TS is on every list of the toughest places to play both in the USA and world wide. I have never seen Clemson on any of those lists.

In reality, nobody cares about them calling their stadium "Death Valley", because they are never seriously good.

Tiger Stadium has become more synonymous with the nick-name "Death Valley" because LSU's program is actually relevant, and Tiger Stadium is known as one of the toughest places to play. It actually lives up to the name... it isn't just pasted as wording on the stadium.

In other words, Clemson may have had the nick-name first, but LSU made it famous.

Clemson was the first Death Valley, but when you ask most people today what College Stadium is called Death Valley- most would say LSU. LSU is to Clemson as Xerox is to ditto. LSU's "Death Valley" might not have come first but it is the better known brand.

I call it Tiger Stadium. Death Valley is cool, but only if it is unique. Since it is not unique, and since Clemson probably did have it first, and since our's probably was Deaf Valley to morph into Death Valley, I say let them have it.

It's Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium, and that is cool enough to endure forever as completely cool and sufficient of an identity for me for our stadium, which is unquestionably superior to Clemson's stadium.
